Wild Ones (feat Sia) -Flo Rida (Single)
Right now, this is my favorite dance song. This song features the words and melody of a slower song at points but then when you add in Flo Rida the different points in the song blend to create a great dance and party song. My favorite line is “I …
Different Gear, Still Speeding 2011 Album by Beady Eye

The Chainsmokers ft. Halsey - Closer (2016 Song)
The Chainsmokers is definitely everyone’s favorite feel-good hitmaker right now.

So did this new Halsey collaboration …

The Beatles - Because (Song)
Because is a track from The Beatles’ penultimate record, Abbey Road. The thing that I always remember about Because is that this is certainly the one track on Abbey Road, or throughout The Beatles’ entire catalogue for that matter, which really demonstrates how well this band were good at …
Lonely Pup by Adam Faith
I love this song and first heard it a few years back at Christmas time from a CD comprising of 101 Christmas songs. Little did I know it was sung back in 1960! But the song itself is so cute and I was hooked immediately when I heard it.
The …

First Act Electric Guitar (ME300)

Sebastian Bach - Angel Down (2007)
In my opinion, Sebastian Bach is one of the best singers on the planet. His days with Skid Row birthed some of the most memorable vocal performances in modern rock. It’s no secret that he was booted from the Row, and it’s no secret that a reunion …

Drum Sticks by Good Wood
I’ve been playing drums for more than one year now. Over that time, I’ve tried several brands and styles of sticks. I’ve discovered that, when a company slaps “Good Wood” on its sticks, I should run the other way and save myself thirteen bucks. This company, which is based …
The Hollow - A Perfect Circle
It is no secret that I like melody in music, and even more so with guitars specifically. There is something about a melodious guitar line that really pulls me in, and keeps me listening. Unfortunately, it seems like melody itself is a notion that does not have a prominent …
Cannibal Corpse - Force Fed Broken Glass (song)
“Force Fed Broken Glass” is quite possibly my favorite Cannibal Corpse song off their 1994 album “The Bleeding”. This happens to be the 9th track on the album which is the second to last song. It’s kind of weird that they put such a good song towards the end …

“A Year Without Rain” Album by Selena Gomez

Get Right of Jennifer Lopez
Jennifer Lopez is very popular as singer/musician as well as actress. But especially I like her song “Get right”. It is something that could very well be her best track to date she has produced. Not only me think so. In 2005 she sold 1 million copies of the …
